Yeah, for me, when people said "imagine", I assumed they just meant "think about". Don't know when I realised that people actually meant that they could "see" some sort of internal "picture" in their minds.Sylvanus wrote:...because I couldn't "imagine" stuff in my head, go to some land of make-believe, or anything. I could role-play, but that's about it. Even when I was a kid, everything was conceptualization. The idea of things.

Tracers, lights shimmering, that's about it. Closest thing I ever saw was the clouds on Windows moving like real clouds. Even then, I didn't actually see anything that wasn't there.
It's not so much an "image" as well..it IS an image, but I don't "see" it. I can just kind of..feel it. Every detail of a scene, the angle, everything that's happening in it. Sounds, movement... Like my brain is moving over the scene and can feel its texture...Avatar wrote:Actually not reading Dune right now, Sheol, just one of my all time favourites.
Pumpkin King-- So how do you experience it? A little movie in your head? And that's part of my question overall.
How does it work? Do your eyes have to be closed? Is it an image superimposed on what you can see naturally? Or does it occur in some part of the brain unconnected to the eyes?

Yeah, it's weird. I can't even tell you how I manage it. It just HAPPENS. On demand! My imagination is simply geared to work like that.Avatar wrote:Weird. I just can't conceive it really. And apparently, language is, at the moment, insufficient to explain it.
